Lowrider..... You've done a lovely job on that 1150 restoration.. Seems a shame to mess it up in Siberia...
I do admire your determination. I really do. I don't think anyone is trying to joke with you.
In my experience, for what it's worth, I've found that the people who have 'been there' and 'done that' are generally 99% right..
I've done my fair share of RTW riding like many people on here and I asked the people who had ridden the roads in that region extensively about conditions and their suggestions.. I'm taking a XR650L and some think that is too big
If they say you can't do it on a 1150GS, I would listen... Expecially to those who have A LOT of experience. Unless you are a professional off-road rider ?? Or have super human strength ?? Can you push a 300kg loaded 1150GS through rivers and deep mud ???
People generally like to look out for each other on this forum and in the Motorcycle travel community in general.
I sincerely wish you luck with your 1150GS on the OSR. However, I don't you won't be riding the OSM on that 1150. Not for long anyway.
Best of luck on your trip.
Ted
